Join us for a free one-day workshop for educators at the Japanese American National Museum, hosted by the USC U.S.-China Institute and the National Consortium for Teaching about Asia. This workshop will include a guided tour of the beloved exhibition Common Ground: The Heart of Community, slated to close permanently in January 2025. Following the tour, learn strategies for engaging students in the primary source artifacts, images, and documents found in JANM’s vast collection and discover classroom-ready resources to support teaching and learning about the Japanese American experience.
The Future of Chinese Cuisine in the U.S.
This program will look at the changing face of Chinese food in China, as well as in places like Vancouver, Flushing, and the San Gabriel Valley in Southern California.
When:
January 23, 2008 6:00pm to 8:30pm
Where
Why is it so difficult to find great Chinese food in America? The question is especially vexing when one looks at the culinary renaissance taking place in China itself. Is the problem visa difficulties for Chinese chefs, as Nina and Tim Zagat recently argued? Is it the ingredients? Or is the issue (as Nicole Mones has claimed) more fundamental: a disconnect between what talented Chinese chefs can cook and what Americans, raised on chop suey and sweet and sour pork, actually expect?
Or, is there great Chinese food already here, just waiting to be discovered and celebrated?
We'll also discuss some of the bright spots and local trends in the Bay Area Chinese restaurant scene.
This program includes a catered reception, a 90-minute panel discussion, and post-event book signing.
